Why some cases never make it to court? Thanks to Shamus T Bones' Chris for asking this question.

This is a post about why a possible case about alleged embezzlement at Shamus T Bones still remains unprosecuted. Stay tuned from responses from Chris Barry, the DA's office, and others in a future post.

Mr. Barry has tried to get other media to pursue answers.

The summary, according to Chris Barry, a Humboldt reader's digest version:

My name is Chris Barry.  I own Shamus T Bones.

One of our employees embezzled 45k from us over the past year.  He had worked for us for 6 years.  His method was very interesting and creative.  We were able to document exactly how and when, down to the minute.  I obtained a legally videotaped confession from him.

EPD prepared the case and turned it over to the DA.

Luke Brownfield filed the charges and it is my understanding that a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
I reported this to EPD (Officer LaFrance) on January 19th.  At that time, he told me that he had enough probable cause to arrest him but he said he would rather not because once they arrest him, they have limited time to organize the case.

Over the next week he worked on it and eventually it was forwarded to the DA's office.

I'm frustrated that someone can steal $45,000.00 and two months later they have not been arrested or even spoken to by law enforcement.
